pedestal over which a chandelier is supended. This room WiH Dc used bg the hnights as C "recepti0a room.' At the back of the room there are large windows which open upon the smoking room. This room has in it large brown leather sofa and a wine cooler. ..
 The wood decorations are beauti- ful and the floor is covered with Wilton carpet. Back of the smok- ing room is the dining room, which is lighted through an octagon-shaped dome. This room is about twenty four feet square and from an artistic point of view is probably the hand somest in the building.
 The base of the dome has eight sides, upon which are painted repre- sentations of fruits and flowers. Above these sides are perpendicular skylights over which the dome again assumes the shape of an octagon, the sides of which are painted emblem atlc of the seasons. From the cen ter of the dome is suspended a re- volving chandelier, with twenty four highly polished and ornamented brass burners. Around the base of the dome, carved in wood, is a deer, with real antlers, a boar, ducks, fish and other specimens of game. There are five doors in the room, around all of which Is ornamentation, and eight carved columns run up it's sides.
 On the second and third floors of the main building there are eight large private apartments which are finely carpeted and the windows of which are covered with lace curtains and satin hangings.
 On the fourth floor in front is one large room extending the length of the building, which contains bil- Hard table covered with mrble.
 The entire building is heated by steam, and there are registers in every room. There are also electric call bells, messenger calls and burg lar alarms.

ENGLAND AWAKENING
A Labor Amendment Which Did Not
 Pass a Good Sign.

LONDON, Feb. 25. Hast week a most unusual thing occurred in the House of Commons. An amend ment was actually moved to the Ad- dress that the question of the Unem- ployed should be considered , After three short speeches had been made the Speaker, who is simply a Tory tool, closed the debate, although night after night had been wasted with quibbling over some unimport- ant item of government policy. Of course, questions which deeply affect the interests of the working classes must be carefully excluded from that assemblage of landlords and capitalists yclept Parliament. To his great shame be it stated Mir. Chas. Bradlaugh, who has for so many years posed as the representa- tive of the working classes, got up and left the House when the divis- ion took place upon the amendment. Some of the "labor representatives, ;" so called, were also absent whilst those who were present and who voted for the amendment raised no protest against the arbitrary and des potic ruling of Speaker.
 The present crisis in the North umberland coal trade is one which will be long remembered. The at titude of both men and masters points to a long and bitter struggle. The coal owners are determined to en nforce the reduction of the miners wages, and the men are as firm in resisting the reduction. The drain upon the resources of the Union is enormous: close upon fS,000 (s40, 0OO) week being required for strike pay. John E. Williams, of the So- cial- Democratic Federation, is visit ing the district for the purpose of holding meetings and making collec- tions in support of the men.
 The iron trade shows signs of i'm provement, and advances are being asked by some of the Unions. The Bolton Branch of the Amalgamated Engineers have demanded an in. crease of fifty cents week. Thi: the masters refuse and strike i; expected. II. w. LEE.

Politicians Uneasy Straight Nomina-
 tiOns- Socialism Applauded.

tIOns-SOclallsm Applauded.
 Last Sunday evening our Independent Labor Party had large and enthusiastic meeting, and commenced making nolni- nations for city and town election. The proceedings were spirited but harmoni- ous, Everybody seemed desirous to have none but honest producers who are in full sympathy with radical reform on the ticket.
 Up to the eleventh hour the politicians of the rum and poodle parties trusted the Independents would not attempt to nominate straight labor ticket, and that the workingmen would, as of yore. march under the party whips. In such idle hopes they were encouraged by some heelers who have unfortunately invaded the ranks of the K. of l.. The subsidized party press had abstained for while from it's yenomous attacks on laIor organizers and agitators, which attacks had about the same effect on the latter as barking dogs have on the pro gress of a locomotive. But the die Is cast and mud-slinging from the ''demo- cratic" quarters at least, is in order. With intense relish these organs reprint ed q slanderous falsehood appearing ill a paper issued by Troup's lieutenant, i'll Hartford--a fit disciple of that worthy.

The event took place Tuesday evening. doubt whether the local dailies would have urged the public, as they did, to attend the lecture of Mir McCord, who, they said, had all the ability to handle that subject, had they anticipated his conclusions. From such course they certainly expected nothing short of denunciations of Socialism. The lecturers clear and logical exposi- ton of the new Gospel and his final en- dorsement of all its aims must have been a sad disappointment to them.
 A remarkable feature of the lecture was that three-fourths of the audience consisted of ladies, who gave the closest attention to the speaker and manifested their appreciation by prolonged applause. He quoted extensively from Bebel and Gronlund
 It is amusing to see the most conserv- ative element gradually open their eyes, while the highest official of the largest labor organization is playing the ostrich for fear of stepping on somebody's corn and disturbing the beautiful harmony between the wolf and the sheep.

Strange how the democratic" vote is being deeimated in New York city. Boodler after boodler is chang ing his residence.
 Local and sectional preference may place this or that qualifying adjective or adverb before the name of the Labor Party, but that need not alter the determination of Amer lcan Labor to unite when the time comes upon some common, pro- gressive platform. Whatever the name, the Labor Party is the party of the future.
 The use of the boycott IS no longer to be circumscribed by the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor, and the Executive Board has announced that the anti-boycott resolutions of the Cleveland conven- tion are no longer Tn force. This sensible decision was necessary in view of the fact that as soon as the workingmen ceased boycotting, the bosses adopted the measure.
 The Labor Party, of Denver, Col orado, proposes to take a hand in the April elections. An entire mu- nicipal ticket has been nominated, and a platform in which the follow ing is the leading plank: "We, the organized working people of Denver, declare that the first principle of Americanism is that he who will not labor neither shall he eat; that We approve this doctrine and further declare that the produce belongs to the producers, the tools to the tolers and that spectators must go.
 The New York monopolists are perfectly satisfied with the consttu tion as it is, and their hirelings in the State Assembly are doing their best to prevent the constitutional convention which the people of the State by an overwhelming vote de- handed. When it comes to tramp ling upon the expressed will of the people it is time to prepare for the use of something more potent than the ballot.
 The water thieves and spectators who have been operating in New Jersey are now at Harrisburg, Pa, seeking corporation powers and charters, to seize upon and possess the sources of water supply in the Keystone commonwealth, for the purpose of hereafter laying toll on towns and villages. The ownership of water is still within the peoples control. The thieves will probably buy the legislators. Some day the outraged people may hang both gangs. ". !. Leader.
 The organization of a national party at Cincinnati composed of all shades of dissatisfied people, is a fact. The convention finally adopted the name of Union Labor Party, though at one time 1t had been decided to name it Union Party. A reconsid- eration, however, followed, and the word Labor was inserted. One of the delegates suggested the name "Mixed-up' Party, but that was not

what Am to Dor

The symptoms of biliousness are unhap-
PLY too well known. They differ in diff
ferent individuals to some extent. A bill
ious man is seldom a breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of
a morning. His tongue will hardly bear
inspection at any time; if it is not white
and furred. it is rough, at all events.
Theydigestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may
be a symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often Hemmorrhoids or even
loss of blood. There may be Riddiness
and often headache and acidity or fatu
lence and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not effect
a cure try Green's august FEope,', it costs
but a trife and thousands attest its efficacy.

A new use for apples has been discov-
cred which may interest the drinkers of
champagne and Rhine wines. A promi-
nent apple rover of the eastern part of
Rensselaer, county has for several years
past been running a large evaporator on
h are known as ''cider apples" a
small, gnarly variety which the farmers
usually consign to cider mills. These ma
chimes slice the apples, skin, core and all,
very thin. These thin slices are then
bleached white by the use of sulphur
fumes.
When thoroughly dry the e~vaporated
apples are put into sugar barrels and
packed as tight as they can be pressed, so
that a single barrel will hold 200 pounds,
or twenty bushels of apples. These are
then shipped to New York for expectation
to Germany, where they are ground up
for the manufacture of what is known as
cider, and it is generally understood that
much of it enters into the composition of
champagne, Rhine and other wines. 1t is
said that when these evaporated apples
are cut up and properly "doctored" the
finest cider is produced. Last year more
tina W car loads of dried apples were
sent from one station aloee on the Leba-
non Springs railroad.-A1bany Journal.

Another curious old custom relates to
births, and the towns of HARLEM and
Medemblik alone own with pride its right.
In 1873, when the Spaniards took Haar-
lem after its famous siege, they sent no
tice that all houses wherein lay a mother
and n new born babe should nave their
knockers muffled in white for a month
and SO escape sacking. Thenceforth births
in HARLEM are celebrated by what has
now become an ornament on the door,
called a '%klopper." Hugo brought forth
their family n to show me-a square of
lace with his coat of arms finely en-
broidered and edged with fine old Mech
lin. This is lined in white for a girl, half
in pink for a boy. Fastened over wood,
it was hung out by day and carefully gof-
fered again at night. The Jews-the
plague here of ell curio understanding
out every bit Of old silver, lace, china or
carving in cottage or family seat, came
shifting around his 'klopper'' with yainly
large offers for the Mechlin when last it
was hung out.-Holland Cor. New York

Some years ago Christine Nilsson,
whose recent marriage you remember, had
the ines of her hand examined by a
palmist, who told her she would have
trouble from two causes, fire and maniacs.
This prediction was verified, for during
the Chicago fire she lost sec, 600, and
when Boston was burned she lost $780,
900. When at New York a crazy man
followed her for a week, believing that
the words addressed ny Marguerite to
Faust were intended for himself. In
Chicago a poor student decided to marry
her, and wrote passionate letters, to which
he received no answer. One day he came
in a superb sleigh, drawn by four horses,
to take his affianced bride to the church.
The manager quieted him by saying:
you are late; Nine. Nilsson has gone
there to wait for you" The third insane

Old Time oyster stews.

There are some marked changes in the
oyster business, !" remarked I'm old gentle
man to Il reporter. twenty-five years
ago there was in rogue In the oyster
saloons what was called the individual
chafe.' You were allowed to stew your
own oysters. The proprietors brought to
the table after you were seated a chatting
dish, an alcohol lamp, milk, oysters,
crackers, seasoning, etc, and you pre-
pared the stew to suit yourself. 1t may
not have been exceedingly profitable, but
it was popular. Night after night a
party Of us would nave our regular stew,
the privilege to maxi them ourselves
being quite al inducement. We would
have our oysters promptly, four chatting
dishes a-going at once. 1t would take
well to introduce his method again. -

Emerson's Interest In His Children.

Emerson gave much more of his time
and thought to his children, from their in
fancy, than was usual with busy fathers
in New England forty years ago, or Is,
perhaps, now. There is nothing Che
writes in his journaD that is not of the
greatest interest in the nursery. Every
tear and every smile deserves a history, TO
say nothing of the stamping and scream
ing;'' and he kept a record of their child
ish doings and sayings, in which these
pretty oracles" are chronicled like the
anecdotes of Plutarch. Their play and
their work, their companions and their
lessons, their out of door rambles and
their HON occupations, were objects of
his constant care. The home discipline
was never neglected, though 1t was en-
forced by the gentlest methods. The be-
ginning of a childish quarrel, outbursts
of petulance and Stiffness, were averted
by requests to run into the study and see
if the stove door was shut, or to go to the
front gate and look at the clouds for q
minute.-Cabot's Memoir of Emerson.

Queen Hermentrude a garden made,
With bosky paths and pine tree shade
And orchard bloom and lawns displayed.
From banks of earliest %celandine
Till grapes grew purple on the vine
Summer and spring their wreaths entwine.
In fair June mornings after mass,
Where rose leaves heck tho dewy grass,
The queen and all her ladies pass.
And when the ~lengthening evenings fall,
And ere the dark the blackbirds call,
Her voice Is sweetest OF them all.

And summon forth the porter straight
Should aught assail the postern gate.
And once a wild boar of the wood
With staff and shout l sole withstood,
Until my fellows aim was good.
And l remember how she smiled,
And spake like music meek and mild,
Thou hast a warriors soul, my child
Yesl Icould stand, though death was near,
To spare my lady's cheek a tear,
Or save one thing she holdeth dear.
